I am a self employed alarm engineer,who does only sub contract work for other established firms.

I have not read the 5839 foer at least 8 years. I would like to get up to speed with current conformitys

regarding BS-5839 without having to go to the cost of joining a governing body as i am a small sub contract

firm,affiliation is still far from my thoughts at the moment as i am just trying to keep my head above water.

I have a friends in the industry who tell me new scenarios they have came across, but i am looking for

clear cut black and white conformation.

I know this post is really long winded (probably because i am)i have never posted before always been an

observerver. Could anyone point me in the right direction.
